Why is no one getting the Orchid Grey colour? Would like to see that.

What was the size of the update?
It's probably likely that the update you got was a merged one (initial update + the new update) in a single package.

It was 660MB I think.

I'm thinking about buying an S8 soonish. Any recommendations on where I should get one? Also, I'm gonna be in the US for a month in June. Would it make more sense to pick one up there? Thanks!

The US unlocked ones are Snapdragon 835, not Exynos and they've got locked bootloaders. I'd rather get the Exynos one from here, warranty available and better battery life too.

We all got a bit carried away with the midnight black. It's the best looking one imo.
Orchid gray is nice too, I think one of the S8's unboxed was gray. Check the unboxing section.

Nah, the initial update when I turned it on was from AQC9 (first retail build available) to AQDD (April security patch), and AQDG (red tint fix) is still rolling out, albeit very slowly to other regions.

Yup, I got that one too as soon as I went through the setup wizard.

G955F is Single SIM, 955FD is Dual SIM.
Both are international. You can buy for 96,000 with official accidental warranty, but the same model is available without warranty for about 83-85,000 in the market.

In Pakistan only 3 colours have been launched right now:
Midnight Black
Orchid Gray
Maple Gold

Yes i did to 0.5x

Keep it on 0.5x, I do that with every Android phone that I get.

Are you on the latest update as well? Any other apps you may have such as a Task Killer or those Memory Booster apps?

Not sure if it'll make a huge difference, but try disabling those extra Microsoft apps if you don't use them and any extra crap you don't use, Samsung still includes a bit of bloat with their phones that I have to disable every time.

The lag only happens when you exit Facebook?
